YABI meets MobileMe Calendar Beta

unixo — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 05:52:00 +0000

Apple have recently released the beta version of new MobileMe Calendar: it’s cool, of course, but all calendars on your Mac won’t be local anymore, as they are replaced by CalDav ones.
Unfortunately the Calendar Framework provided by Cocoa doesn’t fully support CalDav: then YABI tries to recreate the calendar, a new local calendar is created instead of a CalDav one.

I’ve already wrote the solution to this bug and soon I’ll release the new version which also includes a way to exclude person from sync.

YABI 1.0.4 released!

unixo — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 05:32:20 +0000

“This changes everything. Again.”

YABI core functions have been totally reimplemented and, above all, completed.
This version addresses few bugs, which caused YABI Agent crashes (e.g. when an event name is changed in AddressBook).

I’ve also been asked for new interesting features, I’ll work on them in spare time:

use remote calendar as target
excluding birthdays
enhanced nickname support

Upgrade note
We suggest to deactivate YABI before upgrading; follow these few steps:

Open YABI preference pane
Click on Deactivate button and quit System Preferences
Upgrade YABI by double-clicking on the new icon

Say hello to YABI 1.0.2 and YABI Viewer.

[FIX] Target calendar change is now saved
[FIX] Event title changes are properly saved
[FIX] Alarm icon column is no more bound to “data” binding (“value” is now used: no more warning in your console about this deprecated construct)
[NEW] Agent deactivation removes application data file
[NEW] Deactivate button is now disabled when a fresh-sync is issued
[NEW] Added the new specifier “%yp” (equal to %y minus 1)

YABI 3.0.9 unlocked and..

unixo — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 10:20:52 +0000

Many of you reported that YABI was expired, so I took the decision to unlock this version, even if it’s still an alpha version.

Some months ago I found another way to sync our events with iCal, which doesn’t need manual operation; I quickly wrote a new version, tested and it seems to be stable and functional, but it misses graphical interface like the previous alpha 9.
This version appears as a preference pane and installs a sync-agent which is automatically alerted by the operative system about changes to your address book.

I attach this new version: of course the two YABI should not coexist (they don’t share any data, but it’s advisable not to run both).
To install it, simply double-click on the icon; customize your preferences, activate it and after few seconds events will appear in your iCal (a simple set of settings will be automatically set up at first start-up).
To uninstall, simply right-click on the preference pane and select “remove”.
